Allan Houston: most underrated Guard of the last generation?

[Majestic Pape]

Allan Houston got that Joe Johnson treatment...

Very good shooting guards who just weren't superstar level players but got paid so much money that it turned everybody against them and amped the criticism level up towards them.

those were the golden days

Goat playoff run, until they got crushed by Tim and David

It's ironic that for a guy who made so many shots that barely moved the net...is remembered for a shot that bounced off the rim and then the backboard in lol

I remember him mostly for game 6 against Indiana in 1999. He was unguardable and hit like 10+ shots in a row.

I used to hate Allam Houston.

His jumper was always wet.

He actually was a pretty tremendous athlete, too.

His place in the minds of fans is kind of blurred by his contract and injury. But man, he could go. Could shoot it off the dribble, was strong enough to get to the basket, and his jumper is up there with anyone from that era.

Wasn't an elite scorer, and really deserved to be the 2nd or 3rd best guy on a great team, rather than the best guy on a pretty good team.

They were way too loyal to ewing....dude was so fukkin over then and it cost them dearly. Camby was their planned replacement but they shouldve made a run at another legit big or tried to get shaq as he left orlando...

Botching Ewing's exit set the knicks back 15 years. Literally cast them into darkness.

Yeah Ewing wouldn't accept coming off the bench in NY either, hurt that squad big.

The most perfect jumpshot I've ever seen. Textbook isn't even enough to describe it. One of my favorite players of the past generation and criminally underrated because of that ridiculous contract. It's a shame he never got to play with a really good PG or post player (Larry Johnson does not count).
